"Sir its a tank!"
"Oh crap."
Video games are an escape from the real world where one can burn some rubber against a competing racer for money or unleash 500kg worth of heated lead onto enemies to capture the flag. There are many different varieties of video games to choose from, from the fantasy-style adventure RPG series Final Fantasy, the gangster themed racing game of Grand Theft Auto, the cartoony adventure racing game Mario Kart to games like the intense futuristic shooting game Halo 3, adrenaline filled, heart stopping zombie massacres that take place in Left 4 Dead and the excitement of cutting up enemies with a Lancer rifle in Gears of War 2.
Games like these are extremely popular in the gaming world of today and they are a good escape from the real world, whether to have some fun with friends and blow up a few enemies advancing to your base or to blow off steam and unload some 5.56mm rounds into a few OpFor targets running from your squad. Beware though that these games are extremely addicting and fun and continuous exposure will make one lose track of time; I was playing SOCOM 3 online for the first time when I got my PS2. It was sunny and bright outside and the next thing I knew, it was 3 in the morning, not realizing after winning all those matches and getting high scores that I lost track of time.
Video games shouldn't be played as much during school days, especially if one goes to a school like Mary Ward, where things can get hectic pretty quickly. Don't play those video games when you should be doing your Science project! If you keep playing video games during school time, you'll end up cramming most of your courses in the final 3 months of the school year, kind of what I'm doing right now =S. Games are fun but don't get carried away!
Do those units!
